Report: Iran car bomb kills one, wounds two near Tehran university

A university professor was killed by a bomb placed on his car by a motorcyclist in Tehran on Wednesday, Iranian media reported, in an incident that looked similar to attacks on nuclear scientists in the city more than one year ago.

The semi-official Fars news agency cited witnesses as saying a motorcyclist stuck a bomb on the side of the car which then exploded, killing one and injuring two people inside. Fars identified the victim as Mostafa Ahmadi-Roshan. State-run Press TV said he was a university professor.

This is a developing story

Iran car explosion 'kills nuclear scientist' in Tehran

A university lecturer and nuclear scientist has been killed in a car explosion in north Tehran, reports say.

Iranian media sources named the casualty as Mostafa Ahmadi-Roshan, Reuters news agency reports.

The blast happened when a motorcyclist stuck a bomb on the side of the car, says Iran's semi-official Fars news agency.

Local sources said the blast took place at a faculty of Iran's Allameh Tabatai university.

Two others were reportedly also injured in the blast, which took place near Gol Nabi Street, in the north of the capital.

Mr Ahmadi-Roshan, 32, was a graduate of oil industry university and supervised a department at Natanz uranium enrichment facility in Isfahan province, Fars reported.

Several Iranian nuclear scientists have been assassinated in recent years. Tehran has blamed the killings on Israel and the US. Both countries deny the accusations.

The latest attack comes almost two years to the day since Massoud Ali Mohammadi, a 50-year-old university lecturer at Tehran University, was killed by a remote-controlled bomb as he left his home in Tehran on 12 January 2010.

Fars reports that the bombing method appears similar to another 2010 attack which injured former university professor Fereydun Abbasi-Davani, now the head of the country's atomic energy organisation.

There has been much controversy over Iran's nuclear activities.

Tehran says its nuclear programme is for peaceful energy purposes, but the US and other Western nations suspect it of seeking to build nuclear weapons

Iran need take decisive actions in protecting their scientists, and their women and children.

What you mean protect their "intellectual assets"? You expect Iran to protect every single engineering/science graduate student? They are not even assassinating anyone involved in the nuclear programme, just normal academics and staff.

how the hell any one can scientist at will.. this is 3-4 top level kill by some one on couple of years ..

...

this shows there are many in Iran who are ready to act against government ..

Huh? Please explain this because I am lost.

Iranians are increasingly looking stupid and incompetent. They can not even protect their top scientists and engineers. They have not yet even retaliated for such terror acts by taking out Israeli scientists and engineers. Not only that but also they have failed to make these terror acts, embargoes and war threats the basis to leave the NPT. Iran should have by now built, tested and weaponized its nukes. There is no other way to explain this except to say that Iranians have become incompetent.
